Hi
I end up getting funny characters when I run slrn or mutt in an xterm. I
tried fooling with $TERM but it didnt help. Also, mutt/slrn look and feel
different when I run them in screen.
I believe this is because I use the "vga" font. Its been a while since I
set up xterm to use this font and
I always knew that Linux (and *nix) in general was rather finicky when it
comes to the disk cache, but I never realized just how finicky it can be
until last night. To make a long story short, I was attempting to plug in an
audio cable into the back of one of the computers when my knee accidentall

Did you enable syncookies in your kernel config? If not you may have to
recompile the kernel.

Although I managed (with plenty help) to get linux onto my
previously-windows-only laptop, I am now stumped.
I need to get Windows onto my Linux-only computer. (My boy needs his AOL!
^_^)
How do I partition the sucker and install Windows, so it'll happily
dual-boot?
Can you point me to a refer

No, potato is still the stable tree. Woody is the (all new shiny)

Rachel,
I found some other interesting information about debian-kde here
http://www.tdyc.com/archive/debian-tutorial/develop.html.
It says "KDE 2.x is now a part of woody but since woody is considered

The only thing I know about apt-get is that it's a wrapper for
dselect. I'd suggest using dselect, as it may give you more control
(a.k.a. more explicit error messages) over installs. dselect is a little
confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it...
In any case, here's a quick tutorial:

It's entirely possible that you're right -- my pine came straight off the
install disk when I set the system up, so who knows what options are set

Just to contribute to all the horror stories...
Everyone remember how SIMMs had to be put in the motherboard in pairs? Ever
wonder, just for the heck of it, what would happen if you didn't? So did I.
Curiosity mercifully spared my cat, but that was pretty much all that was
spared. It was a bib

Hi,
I was running red-carpet and it ate up ALL my available ram. I killed
it. Now I can get no responsiveness at the console. I am logged in
from another machine right now so I can send this mail.
